ABSOLUTELY LOVE this idea!
In all honesty, I think as far as $$$ spent...
the quilt I'd make would probably have more value in fabric/thread/etc...
(not to mention TIME) than any amount I'd have spent on a gift card.
But of course most non-quilting people don't understand the real VALUE in a handmade quilted item.
They likely see a baby quilt at Wal-Mart for $9.96 and think that's the worth/value of a any quilt - handmade or store bought.
